Mr CLAYTON BARR (Cessnock): Congratulations to Cessnock Electorate’s Gregory Allen who has been recognised for 45 years of adult service to Scouting. Gregory was present with his 45 Years of Adult Service Award in July 2026 which was presented by Belinda Howell, Chief Commissioner of Scouts NSW. Greg began his journey with Scouts in 1969 as a Cub Scout, progressed through each section and earned his Queen’s Scout Award in 1980. Since then, Greg has held many leadership roles including Cub Scout Leader, Venturer Scout Leader, Group Leader, Activities Leader, District Commissioner, Regional Commissioner – Special Duties, and Branch Councillor. Greg’s commitment to Scouting has benefited many in the Kurri Kurri, Aberdare and Cessnock Scouts over these many years, supporting the Scouts youth members and volunteers. Thank you and congratulations Greg for giving of your time for the benefit of many in our community.
